   set       is an integer CSPICE set that is to be searched for the
             occurrence of item.  Trailing blanks are not significant 
             in the comparison.
 
             set must be declared as a character SpiceCell.

   The function returns the ordinal position of item within set. 
   Ordinal positions range from 0 to N-1, where N is the cardinality
   of the set.

   1) If the input set argument is a SpiceCell of type other than
      character, the error SPICE(TYPEMISMATCH) is signaled.
 
   2) If the input set argument does not qualify as a CSPICE set, 
      the error SPICE(NOTASET) will be signaled.  CSPICE sets have
      their data elements sorted in increasing order and contain
      no duplicate data elements.

   3) If the input string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
      is signaled.

   A natural ordering can be imposed upon the elements of any 
   CSPICE set, be it integer, character or double precision.  For 
   character strings the ASCII collating sequence serves as the 
   ordering relation, for double precision and integer variables 
   the arithmetic ordering is used. 
 
   Given any element of a set, its location within this ordered 
   sequence of elements is called its ordinal position within 
   the set. 

   In common mathematical usage, ordinal positions of elements
   in a set of cardinality N range from 1 to N.  In C programs,
   it is much more convenient to use the range 0 to N-1; this is
   the convention used in CSPICE.
 
   For illustrative purposes suppose that set represents the set 
 
      { &quot;8&quot;, &quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, &quot;9&quot;, &quot;7&quot;, &quot;4&quot;, &quot;10&quot; } 
 
   The ordinal position of:    

       &quot;8&quot; is 5 
       &quot;1&quot; is 0 
       &quot;2&quot; is 2 
       &quot;9&quot; is 6 
       &quot;7&quot; is 4 
       &quot;4&quot; is 3 
      &quot;10&quot; is 1

   1)  String comparisons performed by this routine are Fortran-style:
       trailing blanks in the input array or key value are ignored.
       This gives consistent behavior with CSPICE code generated by
       the f2c translator, as well as with the Fortran SPICE Toolkit.
      
       Note that this behavior is not identical to that of the ANSI
       C library functions strcmp and strncmp.
